Sour Cream Banana Nut Muffins

Sour Cream Banana Nut Muffins are moist and fluffy banana muffins with nuts. These are just as good as the ones as your favorite coffee shop!

I made these Sour Cream Banana Nut Muffins while the kids were at school and most of them were gone by the time they went to bed. They were a hit with everyone in the house!

They are really yummy and really easy! The sour cream keeps them moist and the nuts give them a nice crunch.

I highly recommend making them if you ever have a bunch of super ripe bananas hanging out on your counter!

I also have a Banana Muffins with Nutella Swirl recipe that is always popular when I make it!

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour
• Baking soda – this is going to make sure your puffy rise and get nice and fluffy.
• Cinnamon – if you don’t like cinnamon, you can leave it out but it’s really nice in these muffins.
• Unsalted butter – bring it to room temperature before beginning.
• Sugar
• Eggs
• Bananas – make sure you use the super ripe ones that have been sitting on your counter for awhile.
• Sour cream – using sour cream makes the muffins really moist. You can substitute plain yogurt if you prefer that.
• Vanilla
• Chopped nuts – pecans, walnuts, whatever you like!

Instructions

• Dry ingredients. Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
• Wet ingredients. Beat together butter, sugar, and eggs. Add bananas, sour cream, and vanilla; beat until thoroughly combined.
• Combine. Beat flour mixture into butter mixture until just combined.
• Add nuts. Fold in chopped nuts.
• Transfer. Fill muffin cups lined with paper liners ¾ full.
• Bake. Bake at 350F 20 – 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

How Long Are They Good For?

These muffins will be good for up to 4 – 5 days if stored in an airtight container at room temperature. I usually store our muffins in a big ziploc bag.

You can get another day or 2 out of them if you store them in the fridge (also in an airtight container) but they will probably lose some of their moistness.

Can You Freeze Banana Muffins

Yes, you can definitely freeze banana muffins! They are fine in the freezer for up to 3 months.

If you think you will eat them within a month, they should be fine in a freezer ziploc bag, just make sure to squeeze out as much air as possible.

If you need them to be frozen the full 3 months, I would wrap them first in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and then place them in a freezer ziploc bag. Just to protect them from freezer burn.

When you are ready to serve the muffins, just let them defrost on the counter overnight.
